So here is the first chapter of my attempt at a fanfiction. Please, please, please leave reviews as i would like to become a better writer by doing this as well.

There was a horrible, sharp pain all over his body. All he could think about was what had happened over the last few months between him and the Quarian engineer he had grown to love despite her race being looked down upon. He worried that she might blame his death on herself because she got hurt during the final push towards the beam that lead to the crucible. He could not stand to think about her in pain, which he imagined she was in bad at that moment.

He realized that he wasn't anywhere he recognized. Or was he? He couldn't tell due to the bluriness in his vision. He looked down to see a very large piece of concrete, or whatever you call the building material they used on the citadel. He tried moving his arms and ignored the pain that flared up around his entire body. After a while of pushing rubble off of his chest and legs, he felt a sharp pain in his side. He noticed there was a metal rod that looked like rebar sticking out of his waist. He tried pulling it out, but to no avail, he passed out from the pain.

He woke up to see white everywhere. White bed, white ceiling, white walls, white door. He figured out he was in a hospital when he saw that massive light thing that the doctors use during surgeries.

"How long was I out? Where am I?" He asked himself as he looked over to see a certain figure softly snoring while leaning back in a chair with its head against the wall and the side of the bed Shepard was lying on. As soon as he saw the purple cloth and black rubber, he knew exactly who it was. Tali. "How long has she been here? How long has she been asleep? Should I wake her?" He thought about putting his hand on her shoulder to wake her, but winced in pain as he attempted to lift his arm. He decided to just let her sleep. Besides, she looked so peacefull and happy sleeping like that. He wouldn't dare ruin that for her thinking of what she went through not too long ago.

He looked at her once again noticing she was moving but stayed silent and just looked at her.

"Shepard!" she almost yelled at the top of her lungs out of excitement and joy, "They told me you were in a coma, so I decided to stay here until you woke up. I know it could have been months or even years before you woke up, but after all you've done for me, I thought it would be worth it."

"How long have you been here?" He asked as he felt her lean into him giving him a tight hug but pulled back as she felt him jolt in pain.

"I've been here about a week now. Admiral Hackett contacted me as soon as they found you. Keelah Shepard, I didn't know what I would have done if you had died. I love you."

"I love you too tali, but you didn't have to stay here all that time." Shepard told her with a joyfull smile on his face.

"You know very well that I will do anything for you Shepard. Whether you want me to or not" She said before removing her mask and planting a very passionate kiss on his lips.
